The Mindset that will guarantee yourself Financial Success

My name is Sean Alexander and this is my first thread ever in the Warrior Forum!

I have been a member of this forum for many months and have gotten tons of value out of it, but now I feel it it time to contribute back to the community.

I thought long and hard as to what part of my online business I would like to share with you guys, and finally realized that the best place to start is also the most important factor to success. Your mindset.

In order to be successful in making money online, you need to have a certain mindset.

Why is this important? Because making money online is not like making money offline. It requires more work (initially), more dedication, and more persistence.

Firstly, if you have not yet come to realize, failure is a large part of making money online. It is not a bad thing, but instead a very good opportunity to learn a valuable lesson. Many people, however, take failure personally and give up on trying to make money online. They are in the wrong mindset!

Thomas Edison failed to invent the light bulb over 10,000 times before he got it right! He did not give up! He had the right mindset.

The second thing is, you have to be extremely dedicated!

Treat your online money making venture like an actual job. It will at times be very boring or frustrating but you cannot give up! You must be willing to sit at your computer working both when it is fun and when it's not.

It is the people who treat their online business like an actual day job and put in time every day that really succeed.

Lastly, if you want to really be successful online you cannot become distracted!

Before you start your work close all applications on your computer that don't need to be open, including: email, instant messenger, skype, ect.

Make sure that no one is going to distract you while you work and promise yourself only to leave the computer if there is an emergency.

You must have extremely strong self-control to be success online because it is not like a regular job. There is no boss to make sure you are doing your work. It is all up to you whether you succeed or fail.

Thank you everyone for your wonderful responses! I am glad that you are finding my advice helpful! I have been doing internet marketing from home for over 4 years, but I didn't start making really good money until about a year ago when I really changed my mindset and made myself my own boss (I had to be a little hard on myself at times ) But I really am so happy that I never gave up!

i just got shown an ad over at facebook, said being a good programmer is 3% skill, 97% not getting distracted. being your own boss means making sure you are being effective instead of being another aimless web wanderer. i think it was ben franklin who said '99% of success is failure' so there is a lot to learn from that too.. persistance and properly timed strategy revision are two key points I think are important in online biz.

i totally agree.. doing a job is much easier.. if you are at home sitting before your computer there are a lot of chances to get distracted.. one can only be successful in internet marketing if he likes the stuff he is doing.. its really difficult for me at least.. every one or two hour i get bored and start watching some movie.. you waste a lot of time if you are not organized in your work..

I think it was Michael Gerber, who
wrote 'The E-Myth' who claimed that
most small business owners start out
by firing their boss because he was
a tyrant and then end up working for
a jackass!

The fact is though that I messed about
far more at work, and in school, than
when I went self employed.

That's not changed since I went on-line.

But, it's probably easier to get into the
illusion of being productive in IM than
in anything else. This is because our
canny brothers and sisters are bombarding
me with 'free' 'educational' material every
day that can distract me from income
producing activity.

So now I look at all that stuff at the end
of the day when I've lost my edge for
writing.
